Yes, we're aware it's changed. The problem is that when pickle unpickles the data, it tries to assign the data back to its original class ... and the class type for masked arrays under 1.0.3 is numpy.core.ma.MaskedArray. This class type has changed in 1.1.0 to numpy.ma.core.MaskedArray. Since pickle can't find the old type, it fails to load the data.
What I need to know is how I can trick pickle or Numpy to put the old class into the new class.
The only thing we've come up with is to create our own numpy.core.ma.MaskedArray in 1.1.0 as a class that inherits numpy.ma.core.MaskedArray and doesn't make any changes to it.
It's extremely surprising to find a significant API change like this in a stable package.
Thanks,
Anthony.
